The Laker Care Closet was established in 2011 as an initiative of Alpha Phi Omega Service Fraternity, Campus Life, and Counseling and Psychological Services to address food and clothing insecurities on campus. The Laker Care Closet allows the Clayton State community the opportunity to serve its own population by providing our students who express a need with basic living necessities such as food and clothing.

Welcome Week Service Project

Sponsored by Campus Life

Come out and build Laker Care Closet Mini Food Pantries. These Mini Food Pantries will be placed around campus so that students will have quicker access to basic food items when in emergency need. Volunteers will also work to create letters of encouragement to students who receive items from the Laker Care Closet as well as make sandwiches for the Calvary Refuge Center, a homeless shelter in Forest Park. With the sounds of DJ Mayo and other great surprises, this is one service project you don’t want to miss!
